In the current situation, some of the major priorities should be building tolerance and respect for human rights as well as intercultural learning both among young people and educators. Educators, to our mind, play one of the key roles in this process, acting as mentors, teachers, role-models and “peace-builders” in this shaky period. Therefore, we’d like to propose a contact making seminar, which will bring NGOs working on capacity building for educators and educators themselves coming from different backgrounds in order to meet together and reflect &review how to strengthen our capacities in human rights education and intercultural learning in order to address current challenges of nowadays. Objectives of the PBA:

- To share realities in different member states of CoE and reflect on the opportunities of HRE and intercultural learning as potential driving force in advocating democracy
- To explore the meaning of social diplomacy in a current social and political situations in different countries, to identify its potential, limits, challenges and current state.

- To brainstorm the competences of educators which need to be developed/ enhanced in nowadays situation (e.g. political competence etc.)
- To develop joint initiatives for educators aiming at strengthening our capacities in HRE and intercultural learning

- To develop joint strategies on dealing with different challenges of HR in educational field
- To reinforce cross-sectorial cooperation
- To create new contacts and networking
- To innovative mechanisms and to develop a new ideas; to draft project ideas (Youth exchanges, trainings, seminars, voluntary projects etc.)

- To contribute to capacity building of other organisations by doing “peer reviews”;
- To deepen knowledge on EYF and Erasmus + programs, other European and national funding opportunities and to find potential partners for application
